I might know that guy! Can't post here because I'm not site supporter, but if anyone is interested in it, hit me up and we can make something work.
First Year 1974 Ruger Blackhawk, .41 Magnum with 4 5/8 inch barrel

1974 may have been first year with the transfer bar, but not first yeah of the BH. It wasn’t even first year of the .41 magnum.
Once upon a time (1972 or '73) I had a 4-5/8" Blackhawk, 3-Screw 41 Mag. Not a bad gun at all but I was more into the Flat-top 44s and 357s at the time

You are, for all intents and purposes, correct. I did not think it worth stating any of that given the target audience.
I think it's a safe assumption that anyone paying attention to and subsequently interested in the post, would know the relevance of 1974 when it comes to Ruger Blackhawk revolvers.
However, for the sake of "may have been the first year" clarity, 1973 was the end of the "Old Model" 3-screw Blackhawk and 1974 the beginning of the "New Model" with transfer bar Blackhawk.
According to Ruger's online factory production information, the "Old Model" Blackhawk revolver in caliber .41 Magnum was manufactured from 1965 to 1971.
Interestingly, they list serial number information from 1965 to 1973.

And for New Model Blackhawk's in caliber .41 Magnum, Ruger's online information lists serial number information from 1974 to 2015.

Perhaps my post should have read:
1974 New Model Ruger Blackhawk, .41 Magnum with 4 5/8 inch barrel.
*NOTE: 1974 was the first year of production of the "New Model" Blackhawk with Transfer Bar.
